PLATFORM.
/. We commend the fidelity OF lrcsl.
lent Cleveland to the obligations OF his
Ugh trust and congratulate the country
lpon the economy; courage, honesty and
patriotism of his administration. We cor
Italy approve the public land policy of
he president. Unearncd land grants to
he extent of millions of acres have been
estored to the public domain and reserv-
ID for actual settlers only, and the at
empts of cattle syndicates to enclose and
appropriate large tracts Of public land
o their own uses have been defeated.
\ continuance of the Democratic admins
ration is guaranty that not another acre
hall be granted to spectators or corpora
ions.
The civil service Of the country has been
,laced upon business basis, and federal
'fiicials no longer neglect the duties OF
heir office for the manipulation OF party
,olitics.
The public debt has been steadily re-
luced and VIC favor n continuance OF the
,olicy of applying surplus. revenues to
he payment Of the debt as rapidly as pos
iblc
We commend the efficiency, libcrality
md impartiality of the pension depart
ncnt in the adjustment Of claims under
resent laws, and we favor such further
cgislation as will make generous provis
on for Union soldiers and sailors, sur.
ounding the same with such safeguards
md restrictions as will prevent abuse by
my who are pot entitled 10 the bounty Of
he government.
?. We call upon congress for the i'm
Mediate revision of our tariff laws to
evenue basis, to the end that every in
Iustry and every section may enjoy per.
ect equality under the law. And we
avor the retention of the internal rev.
niue tax on intoxicating liquors and to-
acco, and protest against its proposed re.
uction for the purpose Of continuing the
resent high tariff on the necessares OF
lie.
). We are in favor of continuing
he time honored policy Of the Dem
cratic party Of welcoming to our
hores the liberty loving people Of all
inds who come here to conform to
ur laws and institutions and become citi.
ems of this country, but insist that strin-
ent regulations be adopted and enforced
0 exclude paupcrs. vicious and criminal

L. That the noble and manly efforts OF
Parnell and their associates in
'ehalf of the cause of representative gov.
rnment for Ireland commands our un.
Iualidcd approva!
